    Hi So I have a 2008 triumph Daytona 675 I noticed the last time I was writing that water was coming out from the bottom upon inspection realized that the expansion tank was overflowing out the tube so so with a little research I was told that it's possibly the radiator cap ordered a radiator cap hasn't come in yet I don't think it's the head gasket because there is no water in the oil at all there's no problems with it running in the temp doesn't go up Is there any other radiator That could possibly work until the OEM1 comes in thank you

    Definitely best to wait for the cap to arrive and then see!
    I wouldn’t ride it either until it does arrive!

    Wait fir the cap, could well be the reason. Have you had the bike long, many triples do not like the overflow level too high. My t509 runs perfectly with the level way below minimum, if I top it up, she burps a load out every time.
    And a new cap worked for me.

    I have had it for 2 years. And once it gets to running temp the overflow fills and If I keep it running it will overflow out the tube

    No. It's just that people often get an air lock in the system after changing the coolant. That then results in overflow. Not the problem in your case by the sound of it.
